We've been to Cochon twice. Once at each location in old Quebec City. Both are comfortable locations, although we liked the one in Petit Champlain a little more. Had lunch once & brunch once. Coffee drinks are good, but the brunch/breakfast is definitely the star. Lunch was just okay. No offense to the restaurant, but they felt like plays off of American food, instead of truly being French food. Also, & this is small, but if customers like us are trying to order, converse, etc. in French, please let us try instead of just switching back to English! Otherwise, how do we get good at speaking more French when we visit!?

Went there for brunch. Had the best server with a wonderful smile. Get plenty of food & if you do the filtered coffee, it's unlimited. Cappuccino is not unlimited. Apple butter on toast was interesting & good.

Ce n'était pas prévu, mais on y a mangé deux fois la même journée. & on a autant adoré notre brunch que notre souper. Menu d'hôte le soir vraiment pas excessif. & sur les deux services, on a trouvé les serveurs hyper attentionnés :) C'est sûr, on reviendra lors de notre prochain séjour à QC !!

Brunch correct mais sans plus. Gauffre sèche & dure. Ne me semble pas du jour. Le serveur auto félicite les plats. Nous sommes déçus.

Stopped in to have a light lunch on a Saturday late afternoon. Long wait to order - however, very pleasant serving staff. Ordered onion soup & had to send it back to the kitchen because it wasn't hot. The same soup was returned, & the temperature was the way it should be served "hot." It was lukewarm at best. Unfortunately, mediocre tasting soup. Looking around at the plates served, this place seems to be mostly breakfast/brunch - plates of food do not look impressive. I'm not sure I would return.

Fantastic restaurant with a great breakfast/brunch menu. I got the eggs Benedict with lox & she got the vegan sandwich. The food was incredible. The potato's were nice & crispy & the hollandaise sauce on the eggs was so flavorful. The waiter even brought us fruit smoothies to try for free. The coffee was great & the restaurant was clean & well decorated. The bathroom facilities were state of the art with a really cool sink/hand dryer combo. This place was incredible!
